I am so excited to announce that I am now offering Author Visits for young audiences in pre-k to 5th grade! From the start of my journey with these books, my goal has always been to share these stories with children.

What Do You Call Your Grandmother?" and "What Do You Call Your Grandfather?" brought joy to many generations, across many families, this Christmas. ☃️🎄🎁
May these books continue to be a source of connection and love for many Christmases to come!

Last October, Sally did the photographs that our amazing Jo Ann used to illustrate the grandparent books.
